IM Robert Hungaski took clear first and earned his second GM norm at the New York
International (St. John's University, June 17-21) with a score of 8/9. Robert finished ahead of nine GMs on the way to his incredible performance and the first prize of $5000. GM Jaan Ehlvest was a point and a half behind, but that was good enough for clear second and $2500. Young FMs Kassa Korley and Aleks
Ostrovskiy earned IM norms. See full standings on the Marshall Chess Club website and look for US Chess Scoop video featuring Robert, Kassa and Aleks later this week.
